%*  The  year  1800  was  not  reckoned  a  BifTextile,  or  Leap 
Year,  but  confifted  of  365  days  only,  making  thereby  a  differ- 
ence of  12  days  between  the  Old  and  the  New  Styles.  This 
difference  of  the  two  Styles  will  continue  thro'out  the  whole  of 
the  19th  Century,  in  order  that  the.  Vernal,  or  Spring  Equinox, 
may  be  fixed  on  or  near  the  21ft  of  March  in  every  year*,  as  it 
happened  at  the  time  of  the  Council  of  Nice  in  325,  and  as 
fixed  by  the  Gregorian  or  New  Style. 

*  All  thefe  regulations  tend  to  prove,  that  the  year  ought  to 
commence  at  the  Spring  or  Vernal  Equinox,  and  neither  at  the 
ifi\of  January,  nor  at  the  22dof  Septr.— -Nature  and  Common 
Senfe  pointed  this  period  out  to  "  the  wild  untutor'd  Indian."

A  Brisf  ACCOUNT  of  ASTRONOMY: 

14  The  ipacious  firmament  on  high, 

*«  And  all  the  blue  ethzrial  fky, 

■**   And  fpangl'd  Heav'ns,   a  fciining  frame, 

U    Their  great  original Jrreclaim." 

ASTRQNOMY  is  a  Science  which  treats  of  the  motions  and  dif- 
tincesofthe  heavenly  bodies,  and  of  theirvarious  appearances. 
—  It  is  a  Science,  which,,  the  more  it  is  known,  mews  the  wonder* 
of  Nature,  and  displays  the  aftonifhmg  power  and  goodnefxof  GOD* 
tke  almighty  creator  and  prcfeVver of  the  l.'niverfe. 

The  Pflemsic  Syflem  had  long  been  ihc  ertablifhed  and  orthodox 
belief;  according  to  which,  the  Garth  was  one  extenfivc  plane  fixed 
in  (he  centre  of  a  great  fyllem,  around  which  moved  the  Sun,  \3oon, 
and  Stars;  and  thel<*  were  fuppofed  to  be  placed  in  feparate  chrvftal- 
ine  fpheres, incioicd  by  a  grand  concave,  the  whole  of  which  was 
thought  to  be  meant  for  the  ulc  of  thi*  liarth  aioue. 

The  true  fyftem  of  the  Univcrl'e  is  denominated  the  Copem'tan, 
or  Solar  Syftem,  comprehending  the  Sun,  the*  primary  and  (econdnrjr 
Planets,  and  the  Comets  (which  may  be  coni:dered  as  a  different 
Ipecies  of  Planet?)  revolvirg.  about  the  Sun  as  their  common  centre. 
The  Earth  is  now  confidercd  as  only-  a  Planet,  revolving*  witn  f1x 
others,  round  the  Sun.  The  Sun,  the  rnort  imwenfe,  the  moft  gia- 
rious,  and  the  moil  beneficial  of  3ll  the  beaventy  luminaries,  is. the 
fountain  of  heat,   and  light,  and  vegetation  to  this  vail  l-yi tern i 

The,  paths  which  the  Planets  deftribe  in  their  revolutions  round 
the  Sun,  are  called  their  Orbits.  The  number  of..  Planets  in  the 
Solar  Syftem  is  leven,  viz.  Mercury,  Venus,  the  Eurtb,  Mars,  Jupi- 
ter, £>a:nrn,  and  Hgrkhel  (or  Qeorg'mm  S'.dus,  laicly  d»fcove>ed).  The 
two  firft  of  thclc  are  called  inferior  Placets,  becaufe  they  are  nearer 
to  the  centre  of  gravity  than  the  Earth,  or,  th+y  are  below  the  Larfh 
with  reipeft  to  thtt  centre  ;  and  the  other  five  *re  called  (xfcrior  V\*~ 
nets,  becaufe  they  are  abeve  the  Earth,  and  farther  from  the  Sun. — 
Thcle  Planets  are  called  primary,  in  order  to  dilttnguith  them  from 
14  other  bodies,  c-aWt&feccrda-.y  Planets,  Moons,  or  Satellites,  which 
ravolve  about  their  refpective  Primaries  from  weft  to  eaft,  ant1,  at  the 
fame  time,.  accompanying;them  raund  ihc  Sun — The  Eailh  b«s  one 
fatelli  e  (the  Moon),.  JAipiter  has  four,  Saturn  has  ieven,  and  Her- 
fchel  has  two; 

Bcfides  thefc  Planets,  ther*  are  innumerable  other  bocies,  com- 
monly called  Stars,  which  wc  &e  in  a  clear  nighi,  illuminating  and 
adorning  «•  the  Ipacious  firmament  on  high,."  and  all  demanding  our 
gratitude  and  admiration. 

The  Planets  are  op«^u?,  fphcilcal  bodies,,  receiving  their  light 
from  the  Sun,  which,  in  tbt.r  various  revolutions,  they  are  iorr>;- 
times  nearer  to,  andfometimos  ftrlher  from. — By  the  tra*fit  of  Ve- 
nus over  the  Sun  in  the  years  1761  and  69,  we  now  know  the  diftaii- 
cesof  the  Placets  from  the  Shu  better  than  before,  as  may  be  i'een  by 
the  following  Table,  which  will  give  our  Readers  an  idea  of  that

panion, from  whole  fide  he  never  dep  rts  above  28  degrees,  and,

From  thefe  defcriptions,  the  different  Planets  may  be  diftin- 
gjifhr-d  ;  for,  after  fun-fet,  if  you  ice  a  Planet  nearer  to  the  liaft' 
than  the  Weft,  you  may  conclude  it  is  neither  Mercury  nor  Venus, 
and  may. determine  whether  it  is  Saturn,  Jupiter,  or  Mars,  by  the 
colour  of  the  light,  by  which  alio  he  may  di leaver  Venus  and  Mer-

Of  OLD  at  STYLE,  TIME,  Sec. 

THE  Egyptians  and  Romans   :  l\       day  1    gan  at  midr 

right,  as  it  is  now  confidered  by  f  the  I 

and  by  the  Spates  of  America.  I  tis,  Fenians,   kc. 

began,  It  at  fun -rife  j  and  the*  Jews,  Grecians,  &c.  at  fun-fet. — In 
Astronomy,  however,  it  begins  tocn,  or  when  the  Sun  is  at  his 
meridian. 

In  the  Julian  Calendar,  or  Old  Style,  about  45  years  before 
Clirift,  a  method  of  reckoning  time  was  adopted  by  Julius  Cefar, 
much  preferable  to  any  that  had  be/.n  before  vied.  A.  year  was 
fuppofed  to  cordift  of  3>5  days  an  J  6  he  Bra;  three  fucceeding 
years  were  confidered  as  common  years,  but,  on  account  of  the  an- 
nual excels  of  6  hours,  the  41I1  year  -was  to  contain  }/>(>  days,  and 
this  was  called  Leap  Year.  As  che  Solar  Year,  hdwever,  is  not 
exadlly  365  days  and  6  hours,  but  365  days  5  he  urs  48  minutes 
and  48  feconds,  it  f.llows,  that  the  Julian  year  exceeded  the  Sclar 
11  mins.  and  12  fees.  This  annual  increafe  amounts  to  one  day 
in  t2<). years.  N&withftanding  "his  inaccuracy,  the  Julian  ftyle 
was  ufea  in  Europe  till  the  year  1582,  when  it  was  reformed  by 
Pope  Gregory,  who  introduced  what  is  now  called  the  Gregorian, 
ci  New  Style. 

I*  having  been  fctmd  that  the  Venial  Equinox  (at  which  time, 
in  fact,  the  year  ought  to  commence)  which  had  been  fixed  on  the 
2 1  it  of  March  by  tne  Council  cf  2\li:e,  held  in  the  year  3  5,5,  hap- 
pened rn  the  i  trh  of  March  1582,  the  difference  was  taken  from 
the  October  of  that  year,  and  the  21  it  of  the  next  March  reduced 
to  the  true  time  of  the  Equinox.  However  rational  this  plan  was, 
fuch  is  the  powei  cf  Prejudice,  it  was  not  adopted  in  England  till 
the  year  1752,  when  11  da)  s  were  itruek  cm  of  the  Calendar,  and 
the  3d  became  the  14th  of  September.— The  Cid  Styie  is  Hill  hi 
ufe  in  Ruffia. 

L'uch  has  been  raid  about  the  impious  preemption  of ,  he  French 
in  giving  new  names  to  their  months  and  days—  Not  entering  in- 
to a  juii ifi cation  cf  the  crimes  and  extravagancies  cf  the  various 
leaders  of  that  wonderful  people,  we  believe,  after  an  impartial 
enquiry,  it  will  be  found,  that,  in  this  particular,  they  have  more 
real'on  on  their  iide,  than  Prejudice  or  Ignorance  is  willing  to  al- 
low them.  It  is  Well  known,  that  Our  prefent  terms,  Januafry, 
February,  he.  Sunday,  Monday,  &t.  are  all  derived  from  the -Hea- 
then Deities  that  weie  in  falliion  before  the  promulgation  ci  {.  hrh- 
tia".i.y— How  then,  a<:  Christians,  do  we  prefume  to  blame  an  al- 
teration, which  excludes  the  remains  of  Paganiiln,  and  brine; i 
with  it  fo  mucii  appropriate  meaning  and  natural  /jgnincar.cv  1 — 
But  we  have  a  Unking  example,  in  this  country,  of  the  fimpjicity 
and  propriety  Of  a  fyftem  founded  on  common-lenfe  principles,  in 
the  conduct  of  that  reipectable  fociety  of  people  culLd  Quakers, 


v?ho  have  thrown  out  a!l  the  Heachenifli  derivations,  and  ufe  the 
£rn£lc  '^,'ms  of  Flrft-  Second,  Third,  &c.  both  to  clays  and  months. 
—This  is  nor,  however,  a  new  fubject ;  many  able  and  pious  men 
have  endeavoured  to  fubvert  the  prei'ent  abfurd  and  unchriitian  de- 
rivations— but  in  vain  ;  fo  difficult  is  it  to  overcome  bigotted  opi- 
nions andobftinate  habits. 

As  the  affairs  of  France  neceflfarily  attract  the  ferious  attention 
•  Call  the  civilized  world,  and  of  none  more  than  the  people  of 
thele  States— and  as  every  man  who  reads  a  News-paper  mult  fre-

The  eriginal  inhabitants  of  this  country,  America,  many  years 
before  there  coitfd  be  any  idea  of  a  revolution  in  France,  went  up  - 
O'l  the  natural  principle  of  giving  names  to  theirMoons,  orMonths, 
defcripme  of  the  feafon;  indeed  one  would  almoft  think  that  the 
modem  French  Calendar -makers  had  the  Indian  lyftem  on  the  ta- 
ble before  them We  give   this  curious  article  in  the  Author's 

own  words  :    - 

"  Considering  their ignorance  ttf  A&ronomjr  (fays  Mr.  Carver) 
the  Indians  have  divide  1  time  in  a  very  rational  manner.  They 
count  their  years  bv  winters,  or,  as  they  exprefs  themfelves,  by 
fnows.  They  reckon  their  years  by  moons,  and  make  them  con- 
fill  of  12  fynodical  or  lunar  months,  observing,  when  3c  moons 
have  waned,  to  add  a  fupernumerary  one,  which  they  term  the 
Loft  Moon,  and  then  they  begin  to  count  as  before. 

'«  Every  month,  with  them,  has  a  name  expreffive  of  the  feafioi 
—For  inilanee,  they  call  March  (in  which  their  ?eai  begins  at  the 
hrll  new  moon  afrer  the  vernal  Equinox)  the  Worm  Moon,  or 
Month,  becaufe,  at  this  time,  the  worms  quit  their  retreats,  and 
begin  to  appear — April  they  call  the  Month  of  Hants — May,  the. 
Month  of  Flowers— June,  the  Hot  Month— Jul_. ,  6uck  Mooo — 
Auguft^  Sturgeon  Moon — September,  Corn  Moon — October,  the 
Travelling  Moon,  as,  in  th.ls  month,  they  travel  to  the  places 
where  they  intend  to  hunt  dining  the  winter— November,  Beaver 
Moon— December,  the  Hunting  M  ^on— January,  the  Cold  Moon, 
as  the  cold  .is  generally  more  intede  this  month  than  any  other — 
And,  February,  they  call  the  Snow  Moon. They  make  no  di- 
vision of  weeks;  but  days  they  count  by  Uceps,  half  days  by- 
pointing  to  the  fan  at  noon,  and  quarter:  by  the  riling  and  letting 
of  the  fun,  to  exprefs  which  they  make  ufe  of  very  ggniiicaat 
hieroglyphics." 

Almanacks.  The  ancient  Saxons  iiftd  to  errrave  upon 

certain  fquare  iticks,  about  a  foot  in  Length,  the  courfes  of  the 
Moon  during  the  year,  whereby  they  were  able  to  tell  when  the 
new  moons,  lull  moons,  and  changes,  fhould  happen;  ar.d  thefe 
carved  boards  they  called  Allmon-avghi,  that  is  to  fay,  All  men. 
beed,  i.  e.  the  attention  which  all  men  ought  to  pay  the  Moon. 
From  hence  is  derived  the  word  Almanack.  ' 

Early  Rising. The  difference  between  ritirg  every  mor- 
ning at  6  or  at  8  o'clock,  in  the  courfe  of  40  years,  amounts  to 
.29,000  hours,  or  3  years  121  days  16  hours,  which  will  aficrd 
exactly  8  hours  a  day  for  ten  years  ! — What  a  weighty  confider- 
tion  is  tins  to  mankind,  whofe  longeft  life  is  but  a  fpan ;  more 
particularly  thofe  who  waite  thefe  precious  hours  in  bed,  and

The  PEACH-TRir. 

The  Peach  is  the  moft  delicious  fruit  thni  can  be  produced  in  any 
country.  Fluxes  ate  feint  times  afcribed  to  the  ule  of  it,  but  this 
is  only  where  it  is  imprudently  eaten  before  it  is  ripe  ;  for  it  is  a 
well  known  faft,  that  in  fluxes  there  is  nothing  l'o  dciirable  to  the 
ftck  perfon  as  a  fully  ripe  peach;  and  few  pveferiptions  are  mere 
beneficial  in  every  ilage  of  that  dilorder,  than  a  ripe  fre«-flone 
-fvvcet  peach. 

The  tree  of  this  fruit  may  be  produced  in  great  varieties  from  the 
Hone,  but  the  belt  kinds  are  thofe  propagated  by  innocuiation.— 
This  precious  fruit,  however,  is  forbidden  to  the  floihful,  the  neg- 
ligent, and  the  ignorant;  for  it  can  neither  be  obtained,  nor  pre- 
fetved,  but  by  (kill  and  attention. 

'ih?  Peach  Tree  is  liabie  to  three  caufaities,  or  misfortunes— 
The  fly,  which  depofits  its  eggs  near  the  root  of  the  tree;  the  burn- 
ing ei  the  bark  by  fevere  frcft  in  winter;  or,  by  the  fplintering  ofT 
of  the  limbs  at  the  fork  of  the  tree.  The  Gardener  who  wiftes  to 
bare  weil  tailed,  wholeiome  fruit,  muft  carefully  guard  againft  thefe 
-cauialties. 

The  Farly  Free-ftone  is  one  cf  the  fincir  Peache? ;  it  ccire'  moil 
certainly  to  its  kind  from  the  ftone.  In  #ioo  acres  of  this  kind, 
thcie  will  fcafceiy  be  or.e  four  peach. 

Thofe  who  can  obtain  the  Apricot  fr^ne,  will  find  it  very  ad - 
iftntagenus  to  plant  for  ftccks  to  innocuiate  upon  ;  fer,  ahho'  tl; e y 
r.ve  not  abfoiutejy  free  from  the  ravages  of  the  fly,  yet  they  are  lei's 
f'-quently  attacked  than  the  Peach-tree.  Experiments  have  prov- 
ed, that  a  Peach  innocuiared  on  the  Apricot,  will  grow  larger  and 
life  higher  than  on  the  Peach  flock. —  [For  furl  her  particulars,  fee

The  ufcfulnefs  ot  gond  Peaches,  which  the  health  of  ourfelves 
rrd  cur  children  enjoins  us  to  provide,  and  which  a  kind  Provi-

FOOD  for  CATTLE. 
An  eminent  Crazier  fays,  that  the  weed  known  to  Farmers  by  | 
the  name  of  jdrfmart,  and  belonging  to  the  genus  Tolygonum  in  the; 
Limiean  fyftein,  is  a  very  wholeiome  fodder  for  catne.  It  a-  ! 
founds  in  many  meadows,  and  is.  generally  deemed  a  tauifance  in  at 
field,  /•itho'  the  cattle  will  not  touch  it  whilfl  green,  yei,  when  J 
made  into  hay,  they  will  eat  :t  as  eagerly  as  they  ..ill  Timothy  ;  iti, 
is  nourifhinf,  and  keeps  the  cattle  warm  and  healthy.  Several  hun-1 
cted  tons  of  it  have  been  made  by  the  Gentleman  who  gives  this  in.'.j

CLEAN   WHEAT—A  Hint. 

It  is  earneftly  recommended  to  Farmers  in  general,  to  confidcr  the 
intereft  of  the   country,    and  their  own    credit  and    profit,     by   taking 
care  to  e'ean   their  wheat   better.     It  is    well  known,  that  this  State, 
Virginia,   is  capable  of  producing   as  good  wheat  as  any  in  the  Union, 
and  yet  its   flour  is  not  in  fuch  high  reputation   as  that  of  lome  other 
States—  why,  becaufe   the    wheat   is    not   properly   cleaned.       Let  u.1 
therefore  hope,  now  that  we  have  Y'ills  a.\d  Machinery  conitrufted  0 
the    bA    principles,    that    by   the    general    ufe   of  Tbrejhing   Macb\m 
(which,  beftdes,  will  be  a  vaft  Paving  of  labour  and  expence)   the  ere 
dit  of  the  Virginian  flour   will  be  exalted,  and  be   fought  for  in  ever 
market  either  at  home  or  abroad. 

N.  B.  Ic  is  impoinble  for  the  belt  machinery  in  the  world  properly 
ro  clean  wheat  that  is  trodden  upon  the  ground,  and  then  thrown  inti 
bulk. 


Theft  Friar  of  Nottingham— a  new  Song. 

A  jolly  fat  Friar  lov-d  liquor  good  (tore, 

And  he  had  drank  ftoutly  at  fupper; 
He  mounted  his  horfe,  in  the  night,  at  the  door, 

And  fat  with  his  face  to  the  crupper. 
Some  rogue,   quoth  the  riiar,  quite  dead  to  remorfe, 

Some  thief  whom  a  halter  will  throttle, 
Some  fco.mdrel,  has  cut  oft*  the  head  of  my  horfe, 

Whiift  I  wis  engig'd  at  the  bottle, 

Winch  v\ent  gluggity,  gluggity,  g!ug,  glug,  glug! 

The  tail  of  the  fleed  pointed  fovith  on  the  dale, 

'Twas  the  Friai's  road  home  ftra;t  and  level, 
But,  when  fpur  d,  a  horfe  follows  his  nofe,   not  his  tail, 

So  he  fcamper'd  due  noith  like  a  devil  ! 
This  new  mode  of  docking,  the  Fiiar  then  fan', 

I  peiceivc  dosn't  make  a  horfe  trot  ill ; 
And  'tis  cheap,  for  he  never  can  eat  off  his  head 

Whiift  I  am  engag'd  at  the  bottle, 

Which  goes  gluggity,   &c, 

The  deed  made  a  flop,  in  a  pond  he  had  got, 

And  was  rather  tor  drinking  thai;  grazing; 
Quo.h  the  Fria  ,  it  is  odd  he«;dlefs  hoiles  fhould  trot, 

But  to  drink  with  their  tails  is  amazing  ! 
Turning  round  to  fee  whence  the  phenomenon  rofe, 

in  the  pond  ftll  this  fon  of  a  pottic  ; 
Quoth  he,  the  head's  found,  for  I'm  under  his  nofe, 

—I  w'.ih  I  were  over  a  bottle, 

Which  goes  glvigglty,  &c.

tumbles  into  the  dirt.  He  is  as  drunk  as  a  beggar  when  he  is 
very  impudent.  He  is  as  drunk  as  the  Devil  when  he  is  mifchiev-

reciprocally  to  take  cire  of  each  other  in  an  action  juft  jroir^g  to

f  ot  off,  and  en  hi.5  calling  to  h)c  comrade  to  carry  him  tc  the 
Do&or,  the  o;her  readily  complied,  but  he  had  fcarcely  get  him 
on  his  beck,  when  another  ball  llruck  his  head  off.  The  Irim- 
man,  who,  thro'  the  noife  common  in  a  fiea  engagement,  had  not 
perceived  his  friend's  lad  misfortune,  continued  to  make  the  beft

headlefs  trunk  upon  his  moulders,  afk'd  where  he  was  going?
